Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as Moon Festival, Moonlight Birthday, Moon Festival, Autumn Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Moon Festival, Moon Festival and Reunion Festival, is a traditional folk festival in China. The Mid-Autumn Festival originated from the worship of celestial phenomena and evolved from the worship of the moon in autumn in ancient times. At first, the festival of "Sacrificing the Moon" was held on the day of "Autumn Equinox" in the 24th solar term of the Ganzhi calendar, and later it was transferred to August 15th of the summer calendar (lunar calendar). In some places, the Mid-Autumn Festival was set on August 16th of the summer calendar [1]. Since ancient times, Mid-Autumn Festival has had folk customs such as offering sacrifices to the moon, enjoying the moon, eating moon cakes, playing with lanterns, enjoying osmanthus flowers, drinking osmanthus wine, etc., which have spread to this day and lasted for a long time. [2][3][4][5]

The Mid-Autumn Festival originated in ancient times, popularized in the Han Dynasty, shaped in the early years of the Tang Dynasty and prevailed after the Song Dynasty. Mid-Autumn Festival is a synthesis of seasonal customs in autumn, and most of the festival customs contained in it have ancient origins. [6] The Mid-Autumn Festival is a colorful and precious cultural heritage, which is based on the reunion of people with the full moon, with the hope of missing their hometown and their loved ones, and praying for a bumper harvest and happiness. [4]

Mid-Autumn Festival, Spring Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day and Dragon Boat Festival are also called the four traditional festivals in China. Influenced by Chinese culture, Mid-Autumn Festival is also a traditional festival for overseas Chinese in some countries in East and Southeast Asia, especially local Chinese. On May 20th, 2006, the State Council listed it in the first national intangible cultural heritage list. Mid-Autumn Festival has been listed as a national legal holiday since 2008.
